Xplore screws sourcing

[Salto]

Mine are 5/8" which is about 16mm. They appear super short. Especially for this 200+ pounder. Putting on a Rabb and seen the short screws pulled out on another thread last year.

Need the 20mm version.

What length you using for the inserts? I just ordered Binding Freedom 10mm T20 Low-heads and wondering if I should step up to 12mm
(measured thread section only, not including head)

I think if your inserts aren’t proud of the topsheet at all you could get away with 12mm screws on the front four holes. I get four threads engaged with the front 10mm screws, just under seven threads without the binding. So a difference somewhere just under 2.4mm. The rear screw and heel piece screws go almost a millimeter deeper after squishing the plastic.

I think four threads of engagement on machine screw should be better than 3-5 of wood screw though. Unless you buried any of the inserts below flush, I wouldn’t worry about 12mm screws.
